only used and driven for 14 years and it looks like that... I'm driving a 20 year old car that looks better than this one at 14 years and my car is all plastic cheap parts and never garaged kept
Mr and Mrs Vann were my neighbors back in the late 90's - early 2000's .... I remember seeing them washing their car traielr in the driveway and every few months or so someone would always stop and try to buy this car from them ... Mr Vann was always very nice but not Mrs Vann and especially after i got in a fight with their grandson Jason Vann back in the early 90's in their driveway over a set of roller blades and was never allowed back to their house , true story .... Only Mr Vann was nice but the rest of them were stuck up and snobby and especially towards my family because we lived in a trailer while they lived in a nice brick home across from us on Rocky Ridge Rd roughly 30 minutes outside of Birmingham on the very edge of St Clair county ... Mr Vann would bring my family left over groceries every few weeks plus his apple's he grew but Mrs vann would scream at me and my brother for walking across their yard going to the bus stop in the morning and afternoon... Mr vann was always a really good guy who deserved better than Mrs Vann .... My family moved back in the early 2000's and never heard from them since but ibhave Wondered time to time what ever happened to them , guess i know now 🤷🤷🤷🤷
When I was 16 I bought my first car from my uncle. It was a 73 SS Nova that he’d had bought from a farmer that also put a tow hitch on it and used it to haul his hay wagon.
Some rich guy would take it to a big shop and have them cut it up for a custom or do a 100 point restoration on it. Either way it would be ruined. I'd just drive it as is. Probably wouldn't even clean it
Good point. When the owners do decide to pass it on, likely the next owner will do a comprehensive restoration. Until then, they're just enjoying it as their longtime family car.
And clean the trash out of the inside. Repair the seats. I would be ashamed to show it in that condition and y'all deserve all the negative comments you recieve
